In December, this month, we’re getting a whole slew of great films, so here’s a list of some movies not to miss this coming month. They’re spread out throughout so you aren’t going to be rushed to watch anything.
Gåten Ragnarok, translated to The Riddle Ragnarok, is about an archaeologist who stumbles upon some very serious looking runes in Norway. These runes may tell of the end of the world, or Ragnarök. Get ready for some schooling in Norse mythology as this movie looks like it’s full of the stuff. It’s hitting Netflix on December 18th.
The Wolf of Wall Street originally came out in 2013 and it’s finally making it’s way to Netflix. This fantastic film tells the story of Jordan Belfort and his rise to prominence as a stockbroker. If you’re in the mood for a good film check out this, many consider it to be the best film of 2013. It’s going to be available for streaming on December 11th.
Good People has a great cast, it stars James Franco and Kate Hudson. Even with a cast like that they made a pretty bad movie, Rotten Tomatoes gives it 11%, which is far from where you want it to be. Even still this is a chance to watch a train wreck that stars some of the best actors around. How often do you have the chance to watch Tom Wilkinson in a complete piece of shit? Almost never. So take your chances and watch this when it comes out on Christmas day.
The Village was M. Night Shyamalan’s 2004 film about a group of people living in what seems to be the 1800’s. They’re limited to a small area, a clearing, that is surrounded by a dense forest. This isn’t just any forest, it holds dangerous beasts that are very scary and very spiky. Of course since it’s M. Night Shamalamadingdong there’s going to be a twist, so no surprise there. But it’s still worth the watch knowing that at some point you’re going to be “surprised”. This flick becomes available for streaming on December 11th.
I am Ali gives everyone an inside look at what makes Muhammad Ali the larger than life character that he’s become. The film focuses on his personal archive of audio journals, most of which haven’t been heard by anyone outside of family.

Ali can be considered to be one of the biggest athletes of the 20th century and this film will help us all understand why he’s such a huge figure.

Many of us don’t think of Nick Offerman, Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, as a comedian. Consider yourself corrected, in Nick Offerman: American Ham he takes to the stage to show us all just how funny he really is.

This came to Netflix on December 6th so go and watch it right now, unless you have something better to do with your time.
